The headphones must meet strict technical specifications detailed in Section C and J1-Attachment, including lightweight design, on-ear cushions, an adjustable headband, a 3.5 mm stereo plug, and compliance with human engineering standards such as smooth surfaces free of sharp edges, no locking mechanisms, and no exposed electrical conductors.
